We began walking along the Philosopher's Path from the Silver Pavilion to Nyakuoji Shrine for a little over a mile through a tunnel of the cherry blossoms.
At the Naykuoji Shrine we had a little break before heading to the Phoenix Pavilion.
After the lunch break in Gion, the train took us to Uji city where the Phoenix Paviion stands.
It was rather a quick moving tour day but very cozy weather helped us to move smoothly.
